First we went to the Grand Canyon where it was snowing. The snow made it hard to see the canyon.
After dinner, the snow cleared up and we went back to the Grand Canyon for pictures
Tea and Anna were our roommates
We stayed at a hotel in Page, Arizona.
After breakfast the next day, we went to get some pictures of Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam
Then we went on the Colorado Discovery river raft trip
Our river raft guide was named Clay. He was really amazing!!!!
While we were on the boat ride, we stopped and saw hieroglyphs.
This is an adic
While in the Canyon we saw birds like Red Heads and Golden Eyes. The bird in the picture is a Raven.
After the river raft trip, we had lunch at the Cameron Trading Post.
Then we went to Wupatki National Monument. Wupatki is ancient ruins of a North, South, East, and West trading post. There was a blow hole their. Sometimes it would blow and other times it would suck.
At Wupatki we saw a petroglyph.
Here's Sunset Crater!
Here are the FACTS!!!
Grand Canyon:
Colorado River is in the canyon
Most of the canyon is formed by the Colorado River
John Wesley Powell was first man to travel through the canyon
The rapids are very powerful. They get stronger as water is lost.
The canyon is 20 degrees cooler than it used to be
Glen Canyon Adventure:
The tunnnel was used to bring supplies for the dam
The right angle fault shows how one side is taller than the other
The Colorado River is 1400 miles long
You can see a variety of birds
the dam was created in 1963
Wupatki:
Was here for over 900 years
Over 2000 people used to live here
It was a North, South, West, & East trading post
They believed the spirts of people remained in the ruins
Things from different places were found at the trading post
